The back seat is not comfortable and has limited leg room. While the latter may be typical of some convertibles, leg room is less than on previous convertibles I have owned. see full Volkswagen Eos review |

The rear seats are a little snug, but bareable. However, if someone is pretty tall they might bump their head on the ceiling. see full Cadillac CTS review |
